This is a real fantastic concert
“Ladies and gentlemen,on stage at the Capital Center for the firsT time in over five years – David Bowie and his band !”
During the band intro there is again quite some jabbering by Bowie, the only intelligible words being; “Just a little something we have in here to screw up. By the way thank you very much for coming. In 1976 I made an album called Young Americans“,which is followed by a cheerful version of the title song thereof. “1976” he says; oh well, dates have never been his forte; whenever he mentions dates he is usually one or two years off the mark. “All the way from Washington” Bowie sings,and ofcourse the audience respond to that!
Note:
On the way to the show I had a car break-down.
We had to hitchhike about 60 miles in from Delaware. Good thing we left early.
A kind 18-wheeler driver picked me and my girlfriend up on the side of the road and went out of his way to drop us off, literally, at the door of the Spectrum. Cool.
The music video for Modern Love was shot at the Spectrum the following evening.
Bowie played three nights in Philly. That’s about 50,000 seats total.
This is a very well-documented tour with lots of shows circulating.
I don’t know if this Landover show is a rare one, but this is, to the best of my knowledge,
